DarqUI v3.1.3.1

Old Dog, New Tricks

Since the 64-bit rollout appears to be scheduled for mid-summer, v3.1.3.1 will probably be the last utility that targets both 32- and 64-bit platforms. Up to now, everything DarqUI-related has been tested on two older 32-bit machines which gives us a good baseline for performance. The idea is that if a new feature performs well on 32-bit systems, then it will do so for all players.

I have to admit it will be nice to finally do all development and testing on modern machines that are light years ahead of those aging workhorses. And even though it feels a bit like the end of an era, I think we all welcome what clearly will be a big improvement for everyone going forward.

There's still time to participate in the 64-bit Beta test period with your DarqUI settings intact.

DarqUI Unified Utility v3.1.3.1 offers the following changes. Most of these items are described more fully in the March and April newsletters. Note that if you'd rather not upgrade right now, you don't have to. You can continue to use v3.1.3.0 to get premium updates and configure your UI, but new and revised features shown below will require the new utility.
